What is LiveNow?

Live Now is an initiative led by a group of young people in the Asia Pacific Region that challenge the negative circumstance with a positive perception. Spreading the energy of freedom, love, and respect, we hope to provide the audience with inspiring stories, posts, paintings and videos through our platforms.

Audiences can also expect to hear from us stories and posts of well-being and knowledge of sexual and reproductive health and rights. We also open the floor to receive stories from audiences and contributors around the world.

Who are we?

We are a group of volunteers, storytellers, young people, students, and friends who devote a little energy and time to turn this small corner of the web into a meaningful and positive experience for you.

What do we do?

Our main focus is finding and publishing inspiring stories, videos, and motivational art works.

You can expect to see our stories published and our competition on painting and video.

It has been a rough couple of weeks due to this pandemic. May our prayers reach each and every one who is making an effort to fight against the virus. The stress of the uncertain future may have created an environment of negativity. In these difficult times, togetherness helps, and although we cannot be physically/ socially together, our stories can reach millions. 

Live now is a platform that has been created to hold these stories. 

Please share with us any original creative content so that we can share it to brighten someone’s day and help each other through. The words you share can help someone who is alone at home, right now.

Theme of all the writings to be: Sharing stories and inspiration in the time of a pandemic. 

In our normal day to day lives we are surrounded by friends and family who help us with a lot of our decisions, works and other activities without us ever realizing. It is easier to function with support. Right now, as many parts of the region are in lockdown and almost all parts in precautionary stages with everyone at home, almost everyone is by themselves and it is important to come together and help each other make sense of it.

Sharing our stories of personal experience, how we cope with quarantine and isolation, and of motivational measures taken by different people and self inspiration stories can help. 

The theme is to collectively share our stories to inspire others to reflect on small things and use this time efficiently to regain self awareness and cultivate positivity in ourselves, regarding the pandemic and our lives.
